Why Competitive Shooters Choose the Stock II Competition
Stainless Steel Foundation: A full stainless frame soaks up recoil, delivering flatter tracking, faster sights, and repeatable shot-to-shot cadence.
Polygonal Rifled Barrel (4.44"): The stainless polygonal bore promotes a tight gas seal for excellent mechanical accuracy and easy cleaning—ideal for high round counts.
Ported, Serrated Slide: Weight-reduced slide helps speed cycling; front and rear serrations give confident control for press checks and slide racking under stress.
Match-Ready Ergonomics: A generous beavertail, competition-friendly grip angle, and brown polymer grip panels enhance purchase during rapid transitions.
.40 S&W for Power Factor: Pairs controllability with the ability to meet common major power factor thresholds (verify your sanctioning body’s rules).
Rulebook Tip: Division legality (USPSA/IPSC/IDPA) depends on specific configuration (sights, weight, mag capacity, ports, etc.). Confirm current rules for your division before competing.
